    Does anyone know how I can remove the label off a Hero Factory printed piece? Thanks.

    I've heard Brasso works like a charm.

    Would nail polish remover work?

    From my experience, no. It'll take off the print, but it'll leave smears.

    Do you have any pictures of the damage?

    If not, can you show me the result of Brasso/rubbing alcohol?

    Can't find any pics on my computer of the ruined parts (I remember taking a picture of them, but I guess I never uploaded them), but here's a link to the Brasso tutorial on Eurobricks: linky
